PERADVENTURE

BY ARCHIBALD T. STRONG.

_164 pages. Post 4to. Printed on art paper, with attractive paper cover.
Price, 3/6; posted, 3/9._

A book that is a pleasure to handle as it is an education and
inspiration to read. Mr. Strong does not belong to the School of
Dryasdust, he treats his books as human documents, and his literary
friends as beings of flesh and blood. The breadth of his range and the
freshness of this point of view are seen by a glance at the titles of
his Essays, which range from "The Devil" to "The Faith of Shelley," and
from "Rabelais" to "Nietzsche."

"Both in its grave and gay moods the book is one of unusual
charm."--_Literary World._

" ... gives the impression of genuine sincerity."--_Athenaeum._

"A book worth buying and worth keeping."--_The Triad._

"Those who have read 'The Great Longing' will welcome Mr. Mickle's
latest work, as, indeed, anything that comes from his pen. He stands in
the front rank of philosophical essayists, and is doing more for
Australian literature than all the many poetasters and their kind who
yearly publish many books, but write little poetry. Regarded only for
their literary merit his essays have high place.... It is good for
Australian literature to have the books of Mr. Mickle, which will win
him permanence of position. He is making a very real and valuable
addition to the best in our literature."--_Hobart Daily Post._

"Certainly a striking little book."--_The Australasian._
